Two Dallas Car Accidents in a 24-Hour Period
Monday, February 16th, 2009Last week, a police sergeant was involved in not one, but two Dallas car accidents. And they happened in just a 24-hour period.
According to the Dallas News CRIME Blog, the 42-year-old sergeant experienced the first Dallas car accident when he was on patrol in North Dallas. He was traveling on Montfort Drive north of Spring Valley Road. A woman seemed to be turning left onto Montfort Drive from the east, but instead she drove straight across the Dallas police sergeant’s lane.
The second Dallas car accident resulted in the man’s police car striking the front of the woman’s car, then going into a wall. The police sergeant’s airbag did not deploy, and he spent the night at a Dallas hospital due to back and neck injuries.
That was the first Dallas car accident. After the man was released from the hospital the next day, he was driving with his wife and young child to Irving via Interstate 635, his wife behind the wheel. They were just past Marsh Lane when traffic came to a stop and a car behind them struck their vehicle. As they described it to the Dallas News CRIME Blog, “The trunk of our car was in the back seat.”
Thankfully, the family did not suffer serious personal injury, though they went to a Dallas hospital for observation.
Dallas Car Accidents Happen Every Day
The police sergeant unfortunately suffered two Dallas car accidents in a 24-hour period, something that just proves how often these kinds of things happen. Luckily, he and his family were able to escape without serious injury. But that’s not always the case, as Dallas car accidents can often cause very serious personal injury to those involved.
